The "actual awesome" lists were awesome, as every single software linked in those were good software.

But yeah, once "influencer developers" got a hold of the concept, misunderstood it to be an index rather than a curated list, it stopped loosing any value the concept had.

Now it's just random individuals who want to "own" a collection, but have zero care about the quality, and just merge whatever additions.

They were originally by an influencer developer (Sindre Sorhus), so they were junk from the start.
